SLICKR392 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 With all these big talks around, I just re-checked the scorecard to see how much Rohit actually made. :cantstop: It was a decent knock. Why even have a discussion over it?
Lord Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 It was an okay innnings,only thing after getting starts,I'd like to not throw it away with such shots.both him and Dhawan were culprits of that.

skindia Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Hopefully Robin would be superhit in IPL too and replace nohit soon
Lord Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 You play such shots in T20 and you have to. not when the target is low.need to play in front of the wickets.
G_B_ Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 Good one :hysterical: A players scores 50 with only fours and sixes, lets say 5 fours and five sixes, and he scores 50 in 20 balls. You'd say a poor innings as he consumed 10 dot balls, nice Lahori Logic there. :hysterical: Coming back to the point, where you say Rohit comes in powerplay and doesn't rotate strike much are you not answering your own questions? I agree that his dot ball percentage is high, but criticizing him for innings yesterday is absolutely unfair. He played well while Dhawan on the other hand was clearly struggling. Dhawan took that extra risk and got away with it, it was perhaps his day. But it was Rohit who started the attack, taking risk against Junaid and carting him for a six over cover point. Raina and Kohli batted well, but if you look at Kohli's dot ball, it is 15 out of 32. So around 50% are dots given that he has 5 men out of the ring and can virtually take a single every ball, no? And you say Kohli rotated the strike well GB stop being biased, I know Rohit has an issue, but this is not the innings that you should pick to justify your stand. This was a good knock under the circumstances, a rare good knock he has played. I am disappointed that he threw away, should have made a 50 not out here, would have been an ideal innings to boost his confidence. You really need to read through my posts. Rohit today did what he needed to go given the circumstances. Well played to him. A stable performance from him and Dhawan. But i stand by what i said, it was not an innings of conviction.He did just job. Look strike rotation is important. If he had 50 runs in 20 balls. Then that is a great innings. Not denying that. But, there will be pitches and times when you cant go allout and have to respect the bowler. In those times you need to rotate the strike and not get bogged down.
G_B_ Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 This guy is never going to have a half decent career. He just does not have the cricketing skills and temperament to do that. Either lofted drive or stuck at the crease and poke one or miss one. That is his whole game plan this is the point i am trying to make.
CG Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Ganguly ,gayle all are block and hit type of limited over openers.As long as rohit scores runs at healthy rate it should not matter.BUt he has been struggling of late.I see a effort by him to rotate strike in the asia cup and now in t20s and fletcher also talked about he needed to do that.
Detonator Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Ganguly ' date='sehwag,gayle all are block and hit type of limited over openers.As long as rohit scores runs at healthy rate it should not matter.BUt he has been struggling of late.I see a effort by him to rotate strike in the asia cup and now in t20s and fletcher also talked about he needed to do that.[/quote'] difference is ganguly, sehwag, gilly played much less no of dots and wayyy more consistent than nohit. Mostly nohit gets out with pathetic SR
ThePhenomenal1 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 uthappa and rahane would be a good t20 opening pair.
The Outsider Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Sehwag was block and hit? His tap and run was such an important feature of his game.
CG Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Sehwag was block and hit? His tap and run was such an important feature of his game. Yes sehwag does not belong on that list.He tried to take rotate strike with chopra and gambo.
G_B_ Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Credit where its due. Excellent innings today. Played as per situation and stayed till the end. Nothing to fault. 8/10
Cricket_Hacker Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 selfish innings at the end..didn't get out and was tuk-tukking to increase average
mancalledsting Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Needs to learn how to rotate strike- this is preventing him from reaching his potential
G_B_ Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 I thought yuvi justed sucked the momentum lol hence it had an effect on Rohit.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 both sucked the momentum, just wasting balls and playing selfishly
SLICKR392 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 both sucked the momentum' date=' just wasting balls and playing selfishly[/quote'] Today, Rohit did not. It was Yuvi, and only Yuvi's fault.
